China designated 2026 the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations with African states. The initiative expands cultural and educational diplomacy alongside trade and finance. A decolonial reading treats African governments and publics as agents who negotiate, adapt or contest these programs, rather than as passive recipients.
